Thanks for your video.
Love your videos. I was taught to say "the weather is very warm" or "... is so warm that ...", not just "the weather is so warm".
Mam,no confusion about those words as spellings are quite different and meaning also different.

Thank you for your valuable lessons! I've learned so much from you. You're absolutely top-notch!!! I can't thank you enough. ❤❤❤❤
Awesome, thanks! This was really helpful!
Do you have a course for beginners? or only for advanced?

Can I say, My favorite KZread genre is English pronunciation ?
👍
Respiratory and Veterinarian are two of those words a lot of people are mispronouncing.
The lesson is the best
Hmm, I try to be concise all the time but it makes my speech short and boring. I’m more of a serious person. Straight to the point get things done. Period. I’m not good in making jokes or have bubbly motivational talk. Need help 😢

I learn a lot from this video, we need more videos like this ❤❤❤
Somewhere in 1995 the US Ambassador came to Kyiv, Ukraine. And I translated 'leasing' as 'leazing', as we usually pronounce it. He was not pleased. And I remember it thirty years later😃
Perfect!
Why should everybody use American pronunciation ? Nothing wrong with an Indian using an Indian accent/French using French accent etc...American English is full of grammatical mistakes with way too much usage of vulgar language...be proud of your English whatever your accent !
Is "I recommend that you don't speak this way" (around 5:36) grammatically correct? Shouldn't it be "I recommend that you not speak this way"? At least to sound professional :)
thank you Teacher Lisa,I love you and your teaching ODEN IGNATIUS from Nigeria
I enjoy listening to you. You're lovely. Thank you very much for your clear videos.😍🥰🥰🥰
Thank you !
A fun and easy game for the new English tutors. kzread.info/dash/bejne/o4KLrdV_opTIpc4.html
Please make more videos like this ❤😊
Thanks for sharing the unique ideas. You are right. Sorry can’t fix.
Then fix English spelling ...there is no r in colonel and colonel should be prounounced as the French pronounce it...
What a calming and clear voice. Your students are very lucky to have you as a teacher 😊.
Thank you! 😃
thanks for your video, it seems you put a lot of effort into it. I can only speak for myself, because I'm not a native speaker, but in my opinion it would've been beneficial to indicate what pronunciation you used at the very beginning of your video, because many of these words are pronounced differently in e.g. RP/BrE. also, I learned the IPA when I started to learn English, so sometimes the phonetic notations you were using were a bit off putting (e.g. there's no 'y' in IPA, only 'j' or we don't indicate the so-called non-rhotic 'r' sound, like in "colonel"). again, these are just suggestions, thanks for your great video.
Well.. I’m still struggling to say it lol
You're Right dear teacher, intonation is important when we're communicating .
Hello Lisa, Thanks Lisa for your outstanding explanation of advanced adjective and this is crucial video for both native and non native speakers. I'm certain that it improves to them.
I really like your teaching Lisa
